        This is ENOUGH. We have a President Elect that has not released taxes, Russian hacking in the election, & now no background checks?

        We need to reform the Democratic Party. Its tone deaf campaign led to Hillary whom Putin hates.

        Unacceptable. If Dems did that, the outcry would be wild. Process should NOT be subverted or rushed. ALL procedures should be followed.

        The reliance on intentional ignorance as a strategy is shocking. How it is being accepted by Trumpers is frightening.
